Who is to blame for Haiti?

Protesters in Haiti are blaming the UN for the cholera outbreak that has devastated their country, killing over a thousand people. Due to the burning tires and the total control taken by said protesters, the UN peacekeepers have been unable to deliver supplies to hospitals, in turn making the cholera death toll continually rise. With presidential elections coming up November 28th, these protests have been rumored to be politically motivated, yet the UN denies such rumors. Either way this devastation will not slow down, especially with flights being suspended delivering supplies. If these protests continue, so will the death, which most recently spread to the Dominican Republic.
